Our doctoral fellow, Arjun Kurur, presented his latest work on microcombs for future hyperscale datacenters at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO 2026), one of the world’s leading conferences for lasers, photonics and optical science.
The work demonstrated that a single chip-scale microcomb can generate many precisely spaced spatial and wavelength channels at once, which could potentially replace large arrays of individual lasers with one compact, energy-efficient source.
This result highlights microcombs as a promising light source for scalable, high-capacity optical interconnects. The approach is particularly relevant for next-generation data center and AI infrastructure, where bandwidth density, energy efficiency, and system scalability are critical.
The presentation attracted strong interest at CLEO, reflecting the growing momentum toward microcomb-based solutions for future communication systems.
